Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 2 tbsp Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Spicy ranch dressing
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ranch seasoning mix, chili powder, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, but do not overmix to avoid tough burgers.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent bulging during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Brush the surface lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the burger patties on the hot skillet or grill and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (165°F internal temperature for well-done).
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet or grill to let the cheese melt.
Step 6
Toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill until lightly golden, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of spicy ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of pickle, and 1 slice of red onion. Spread more spicy ranch dressing on the top half of the bun and close the sandwich.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a crisp salad. Enjoy your Spicy Ranch Burgers!
